Thanks for commenting. I hope it lasts. I did not drive in the winter for the first 12-years but now I no longer have a third car so she now has snow tires. North East winters suck. This is my fourth used BMW. My last e28 had over 320K miles until tranny went.
Thanks for the tips guys. 9000 miles is the longest interval. My usual oil changes are between 5000 and 7000 miles.
I'm going to need a clutch (first one) and a couple of other expensive things. If the engine is healthy then I will put the money into.
2000 BMW 528i 2.8L I-6 211+k miles. 9000 on this UOA.
Most of it's life I used BMW 5W30 and Mann Filters until it became $10 per quart.
Mobil 1 Synthetic Euro Formula 0W/40 seems a little light in the summer. I am happy with the results. Mixed driving. Mostly in suburb traffic lots of stop...
